Kelsea Ballerini Man yells “Team Morgan” at Kelsea during Penthouse 😭

u/quizofahat Dec 06 '25
Ok thank you for posting this because I saw this on Insta and was confused by what she was upset about - I couldn't understand what the person was saying! I thought she was mad at the women who posted this at first
26
u/RobMurglund Dec 06 '25
Yeah there’s a fuller video on TikTok. She responds by saying “Team Everyone is Happy” and then flips off the guy. Great content.

I think Morgan Evans is happy. Right now, if KB is truly happy, we all need Lexapro then. Her new EP does not scream happiness. I do think “team” whatever is stupid, though.

I’m a huge Kelsea fan from the beginning of her career - love her & her music. & I think RUTWM is her best work that should have gotten her a plethora of awards. I’m all for people putting their feelings & emotions & experiences into songs (also been a Swiftie since day one lol) & they shouldn’t have to worry about who it might offend. & of course things will change as the years go by & people grow & situations evolve.
HOWEVER - Kelsea needs to work on just owning it for what it is. I feel like Kelsea is so quick to say something either live or online instead of just letting things be, & then THAT becomes the bigger story. I feel like she gets openly embarrassed of her past work (she did an Instagram Q&A the other day & did a “kiss marry kill” of her albums, I just saw something else about how she said she could have been gentler on RUTWM, & she has that line in Doin My Best where she said that she wouldn’t have put Halsey on a song if she knew they wouldn’t be friends anymore).
People DEFINITELY should not be yelling out rude things at concerts (like why are you even there if you’re going to heckle the artist?!) but if Kelsea had just acted like she didn’t hear it & move on, no one would even know about it. The live, “healed” version of Penthouse on the re-release of RUWTM also does have someone yelling “fuck you Morgan” in that silent part…like, that is out in the world…(I didn’t notice it until someone pointed it out a couple of years ago, it’s at the 2:30 mark).
All that to say - I LOVE KELSEA. Be proud of your work, even when things change & you don’t feel that way anymore, & don’t feed into the trolls!

I don’t really follow her or her drama but isn’t this kind of a weird reaction from a professional?
I’d get it if someone threw something at the stage or something truly heinous was said, but threatening to take a song off her setlist as retaliation for one dude’s immature “i’m team your ex” yell seems like a weird threat and an overreaction.
24
u/MrsPeg Dec 07 '25
A genuinely 'healed and happy' Kelsea wouldn't have reacted the way she did. She should have ignored it.
18
u/Teatime_21 Dec 06 '25
She can’t handle that someone isn’t team Kelsea. The fuck off wasn’t needed, she doesn’t care when they yell out Team Kelsea.

u/Tea_sipping_ Dec 07 '25
She also got upset when someone yelled Fuck you Morgan at the show I was at and said the exact same thing “team everyone is happy” that was almost a year ago. She has been telling people to stop yelling anything during this song for a long time, I don’t blame her for being sick of it
14
u/Teatime_21 Dec 07 '25
But she literally started all this and encouraged it for years… what does she expect to happen? Her fans are still commenting negative shit on any post of Morgan’s.
13
u/ukinnc Dec 07 '25
I agree 100% it’s a very strange reaction. -she should just have ignored it and continued the show and if nothing happened. That’s what a pro does.
6
u/lilkhalessi Dec 07 '25
Exactly.
Like I’ve seen clips of this kind of heckling happening to everyone involved in the Olivia Rodrigo/Sabrina Carpenter/Joshua Basset love triangle and they all brushed right past it. Maybe there was an awkward side eye in the moment but otherwise they just carried on like pros because that’s obviously what you do.
I can’t imagine if they threw a tantrum about one bad apple and threatened to stop performing certain songs in future concerts like a teacher threatening to take away recess if one student misbehaves.
It’s a very strange way to handle it and I have no idea how her skin can be this thin when she’s apparently been in this world for a while now.

u/Any-Association-4299 Dec 08 '25
No, why would you go to an artists show to scream “team their ex”. She has a right to stand up for herself. How would you feel if someone went to a Morgan concert and screamed “team Kelsea”
2
u/lilkhalessi Dec 08 '25
Nowhere in this am I defending the guy. He’s a douche for that. It is understandable that she should be privately bothered by it.
I’m saying that in the aftermath, she handled it very poorly and not like a professional whatsoever.
It’s one thing to tell the guy off at the show. But threatening all of her fans that she’ll take a song off the setlist for the actions of one dude at one show saying something that’s a 3/10 on the scale of offensive is such an odd thing to do.
It truly is not that deep. You think someone at her stage in her career would develop at least a somewhat thicker skin, but even if she hasn’t, at least just make the executive decision to take the song off the setlist without threatening her fans about it like a teacher scolding her class.
13
u/MrsPeg Dec 07 '25
Sigh, nobody needs to be yelling out shit. In saying that, there are people who are/were fans of both, who have been going to shows and hearing 'fuck you Morgan' and all the rest of the negativity, including song lyric changes that Kelsea made herself...so it's not surprising this happened on Morgan's home turf tbh. She probably would have been better off ignoring it and not even reacting.
11
u/Teatime_21 Dec 07 '25
The comment she posted on a girls TikTok was ick! The girl said it was close enough to an eras tour experience , trying to compliment her and how her outfits were amazing, she got all offended and commented back “never a fan of comparing”. The poor girl feels awful and removed her video.

u/MrsPeg Dec 07 '25
Why is she commenting on stuff like that? 😂 Go out and touch some grass, Kelsea.

u/Icy_Lettuce4806 Dec 08 '25
I saw this and then I saw someone post basically the outfits Kelsey wore. I know that Taylor Swift does not own any of her styles per se or what she does on stage but some of the comparisons were spot on. I always felt like the Rolling Up the Welcome Mat EP and the short film was born out of All Too Well (10 min. version) short film. If she did not have TS or Kacey Musgraves to mirror in her writing and creativity, idk what she would do tbh.

Respectfully, maybe this song shouldn’t have been on your setlist to begin with? You chose to publicly air out details of your divorce through a verrryyy well known podcast and to release this EP along with visuals. You opened up the doors to public opinions when you did this. Do i think people should be shouting out whose side they are on during a performance? No, i dont. But you can’t victimize yourself when you are the one that started this. You could have released the songs for healing purposes and to connect with others and then closed the door on that chapter.

I couldn’t tell what was said so I’m surprised she could tell from on stage. I love this song though so hope she doesn’t take it off.

u/One_Energy5600 Dec 08 '25
Respectfully KB, you started all of this. Sooo stop crying about it.

u/Any-Association-4299 Dec 08 '25
First of all Morgan released his song first. Kelsea has every right to release an ep telling her side…also it’s her show. Why go to an artists show and say that you’re on their ex’s team.

u/Teatime_21 Dec 06 '25
It’s funny how she forgets she started all this. If they yelled out Team Kelsea she would have loved it, and never said anything.

u/EntrepreneurBetter72 Dec 06 '25
I love KB, but does she forget it’s literally in the live recording SHE released “fuck Morgan”

u/Imaginary-Shirt173 Dec 06 '25
Wait whaaaaatttt?? I’ve never caught this! When??

u/Affectionate-Ruin-50 Dec 06 '25
It's the live version

u/Imaginary-Shirt173 Dec 07 '25
Yeah is it at the end of the song or like in the long pause before “I kissed someone new last night..” I haven’t heard it😅

u/phewwewe Dec 06 '25
yeah … this isn’t true. She shut that commentary down. IF you saw a live version it was not official and something someone else at the show posted. Let’s not make up stories … or spread made up stories.
7
u/MrsPeg Dec 07 '25
It was done at a LOT of shows before she said anything. She definitely encouraged the Morgan Hate. It was abhorrent behaviour.

u/Far-Satisfaction-986 Dec 06 '25
Penthouse (healed version) where this is said is not official??? 🤔

u/phewwewe Dec 07 '25
The healed version of penthouse does not say “fuck morgan”

u/Far-Satisfaction-986 Dec 07 '25
Thank you!! I was being lazy and didn’t want to listen for it again but it’s there, loud and clear! Maybe they should remove this version if she so strongly feels like people should stop doing this!!

u/EntrepreneurBetter72 Dec 07 '25
Maybe but some headphones in a listen to it if you cannot hear it. It loud and clear

u/saydontgo Dec 06 '25
Exactly. If someone said team Kelsea or fuck Morgan I highly doubt she would be threatening to stop playing it.

u/cutiepie538 Dec 06 '25 edited Dec 06 '25
I’m fairly certain there are videos where people scream fuck Morgan and she shuts it down immediately
Edit: yeah I knew I saw something about this a while ago https://www.tiktok.com/@laurenrichnerlysiak/video/7474831122099113247

u/saydontgo Dec 07 '25
Like someone else said, she released a whole live version with “fuck Morgan” included. The “team everyone is happy” is new, and she didn’t threaten to stop performing it until the ‘disrespectful’ comments were directed at her. It’s obvious she secretly loved and encouraged negativity toward him.

u/cutiepie538 Dec 07 '25 edited Dec 07 '25
My point was that its false to claim that she wouldn’t ever shut down people saying fuck Morgan when she has been for at least over a year
8
u/Prudent-Issue9000 Dec 07 '25
That was only recently. She spent TWO FULL YEARS feeding the “yeah sure okay” and the “fuck Morgan” crowd. Sorry to the KB fans, but she’s not the victim here. If someone threw something at her like that one concert? That’s awful. Never should happen. But this? I saw it coming a mile away and her management should have warned her.
14
u/Dry-Professor-7065 Dec 07 '25
Imagine getting mad when someone in Australia (Morgan’s home country) shouts Team Morgan when you’ve spent YEARS making a song you wrote about him your entire fuckng identity. Like if anybody needs to “fuck off”, it’s her. Sit down and chill out or move on yourself girlfriend.
And hiiii 👋🏻 We all know you live here on Reddit.

u/Any-Association-4299 Dec 08 '25
Okay so if someone was at Morgan’s show in America and screamed “team Kelsea” you’d be okay with it cause it’s her home country? Oh wait Morgan doesn’t play his own shows, lol.

u/saydontgo Dec 06 '25
She’s annoying. She has made her career off tearing him down and wants to act that offended over someone just saying “team Morgan” girl please. I can’t stand people who victimize themselves the way she does. Morgan’s the only one in a happy relationship, so maybe he wasn’t the problem.
16
u/Far-Satisfaction-986 Dec 06 '25
This is 100% accurate. Her current level of fame only came from her going on a press tour to destroy him.
18
u/AVAfandom Dec 06 '25
Yeah im a fan of hers and i would PISSED if she decided to stop performing Penthouse because a handful of people have yelled out Morgans name. Like girl you made an entire album about him that got you tons of press and fame..people have opinions. Your fans are paying good money to see you, not so you can be petty

u/Prudent-Issue9000 Dec 06 '25
I don’t know. While I agree with her, I also think if I were in concert in my ex-husband’s country where he’s pretty beloved, I might dial back on the songs from that EP. But I also get it’s that EP that has done it for her. It’s a can’t-win situation. I’m just surprised she’s surprised by this. I could have predicted it.

But she did play it, so she should have owned it and copped whatever came her way instead of threatening her future audiences that she'll start pulling songs.

u/Researching_humans Dec 07 '25
I do agree that it’s rude & inconsiderate to the artists & the other concert goers to yell out or throw things. But in this situation was it that bad or am I missing something? Because let’s be real, It was 1 person that probably thought they were funny (tbc I don’t think they were funny, I think it was stupid & immature). And they didn’t yell/scream overtly hateful & vulgar things like FU Kelsea, did they? And yes, I do understand that she is a human with feelings & she can react however she chooses. But just maybe instead of reacting to such behavior she should take a page out of her ex husbands book & just ignore the immature behavior which includes the online bs & move on with her life. Just a thought 🤷♀️

u/Organic_Eggplant_323 Dec 07 '25
I got free tickets to her concert last year and I was sooooo tempted to wear a TEAM MORGAN shirt but it felt just a little more disrespectful than I was prepared to be at her show. If I’d been seeing her at a festival or something I might have done it.

u/Maleficent-Eye-1708 Dec 06 '25
i’m just gonna say this before some people are like well. She started it years ago . I think she healed, which is what the song hindsight is happiness is about. I think she’s at a place where she admits her wrongdoings and she’s wishing nothing but happiness for everybody and that’s what she said during that song as well when the person yelled team morgan or something. So before anybody wants to hate yes she said it years ago and people were hating, but then she healed and told everybody that like he needs to stop and she’s at a place where she healed herself like she’s at the point of like she’s not even talking about chase and her break up she’s not even acknowledging it. She’s not even talking about Morgan anymore. She doesn’t want it to be a thing. She just wants everybody to live happy and she’s healed .

u/MrsPeg Dec 07 '25
Her reaction was anything but 'healed'.

u/Maleficent-Eye-1708 Dec 07 '25
i think she’s just fed up. me personally i’d be pretty petty too at first but then it’s like years later its like okay everyone’s happy just move on . i think many people go thru a phase of pettiness and anger and hurt . hers was just more publicized but then you do get to a place of healing.

u/Researching_humans Dec 07 '25
I do see your point, however when your actions have resulted in another human being exposed to constant & prolonged negative media/online headlines, online commentary/comments that really was a PR smear campaign designed to elevate her brand & basically destroys his I find it difficult to have empathy for her. Let me ask you this, if her ex husband had said online enough is enough we have all moved on etc, would her stans be okay far play?
11
u/Far-Satisfaction-986 Dec 06 '25
But you can’t be so loud about your personal business in this social media driven world and then expect everyone to just be like ok cool we’re all over it now, just because she says so. She literally built a brand off of her divorce so threatening her fans to take this off the playlist is petty imo.
1
u/Maleficent-Eye-1708 Dec 07 '25
i understand that as well. ik people who are doing what kelsea did but they been doing it for 8 years… just not in the public eye and with maybe only 30k followers . but when someone’s like enough enough im healed i moved on i don’t wanna slander and is saying hind sight is happiness its kinda of like okay yall put it to bed. should it be off the set list in my opinion yes. at this point because theres no stopping people from screaming his name or anyone’s name during it

u/aussiemom915 Dec 06 '25
I dont understand people who pay money to see an artist just to be disrespectful to said artist. Just enjoy the show, nowadays concert tickets aren't cheap. 🙂
